Built to Be Broken

I watched in shocked horror as a crowd of kids tore into my papier-mâché masterpiece. The crowd chanted as each blindfolded child walked up to swing frantically at the brilliantly colored piñata. Everyone cheered as my creation swung across the room and was smashed until candy spilled to the eager, grabbing hands of the partygoers. Even after the event was over, they playfully tossed and ripped the mangled pieces of frayed paper well into the evening.
